Ok, so the video ip core, has a hw control signal/bit.
I checked this by dumping this out that, the moment the
gdsc is put to hw control, the video ip's hw control bit also
gets asserted/set. so this means that video ip's bit get
aligned with the gdsc setting. so this should avoid the
glitches, right ?
